Default 8.8 rear

When swaping out the rear for the 8.8. I know the rear comes with the coupling for the v6 drive shaft. I also know that the sawy bar needs to be swaped out to. Is there anything elas.

Nothing else.
Not even the sway bar.
You have a PP with the rear 18mm sway bar
or a standard V6 with NO rear sway bar?

You have No swaybar, you are in the same boat as me. I am going to get an 8.8 whenever I can find the best deal. I guess whenever I decide that I have found the best deal I should say. I mean I have been researching the best deal for what seems like forever, its the shipping that will kill you. You can get a 8.8 from some sites that already have the V6 Driveshaft coupler, or whatever you would happen to call it.

the best deal would be to deal with one locally, if possible.

i found my takeoff in craigslist and got a killer deal on it.

it's still running great.

I know where to buy take-off GT500 rear sway bars. The cost is undetermined. What would be a fair price?

V6 Pinion Flange.

The Standard V6es handle like a truck around corners on those 16" skinnies.
